Forced to train in the North by limited transportation facilities and with its manpower sources dwindling rapidly, the 16 clubs go to the barrier confident they will be able to complete the 154-game schedule which leads to the world series in October.

i oneninsr also should warn the Axis that the United States is taking the war in stride, even though that stride is mighty big. Considering the Pan-American ar gles cf the Washington opening, wo note that (1) President Roosevelt was unable to throw out the fiist ball in tradition fashion because he was doing some important pitching down Mexico way; (2) Vice President Wallace, likewise was unable to toss the initial pill because he is in South America, and (3) the Senators beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 7-5, aided by Senor Alejandro Carra.squel of Venezuela, who pitched the last five innings for Washington and was credited with the first mound victory of the 1943 campaign. The value of Major League baseball to the morale of civilian United States and as a listening-in diversion for our service men overseas has been pointed out. But the importance of the diamond advertisement as a bond of mutual interest between the U.S.A. and our neighbors in Canada, and particularly in Latin America, too often is overlooked.

Most Latin American countries are extremely baseball conscious. Miilions of fans in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba and the nations of South America follow the progress of our Major League pennant races with the same enthusiasm as our home folks. And they play the game themselves so proficiently that they have sprinkled our minor leagues with representatives, and even sent some of their stars up to the Majors. Right now there are five Latins in the majors: Carrasquel with Washington; Hiram Bithorn of Puerto Rico and Salvador Hernandez of Cuba with the Cubs; Roberto Estalella of Cuba with the Athletics, and Napoleon Reyes of Cuba with the Giants. Recently the Dodgers sent Luis Olmo of Puerto Rico and Roberto Ortiz of Cuba to thptr Tnntrpnt farm TViov hn 1 recalled before the season ends.

If we have another wartime Major League season in 1S44, we can expect to see many more Latin Americans in the opening line-ups. Mucho Elected Pro At Nemacolin Club Paul Mucho, 21.

Daily' draft calls make the pos- sible finish of the teams more tin-i predictable than but the I Dodgers and Yankees have been picked as general favorites to emerge champions of their respective leagues. Both have been equally hurt by service calls yet losses all around the circuits have been coiiipartive-ly heavy and in several cases heavier so that while the general level of competition will be lower, the Dodgers and Yankees still rate as the clubs to beat. Many, however, favor tiie Cardinals, world champions last year, who have lost much of their fence-busting talent in the Senior League's 6SU1 season. The Browns and Indians are expected to give the Yankees a hard battle in the American League's 43rd campaign.

today that unfavorable weather conditions for the second time had postponed their scheduled meeting this week with the Monessen High Greyhounds. The teams originally were carded to play at Monessen in a Section IV battle Monday afternoon, but drizzling skies prevented competition. The contest was rescheduled for this afternoon but was called off again this morning when Monessen authorities reported the Ninth street field too wet for play. The Monongahelans are hoping, however, that they will be able to kick the lid off the season tomorrow afternoon when they are scheduled to play Coach George Chacko's Charleroi Cougars at Quinn park, New Eagle. If the borough field is dry enough, McCurdy will have his athletes on the job this afternoon, scraping it and getting it in shape.

If not, they'll try to rush the job through tomorrow if it looks like play will be possible. The contest is carded for 4 p. with McCurdy likely to stick by the battery which he intended to use against Monessen today. Slifko, who has earned the No. 1 starting role for the Cats, will be on the mound, with Kennedy behind the plate.

Not a Section IV team has been able to get in a league game yet, due to the unfavorable weather conditions which have been prevailing for the past few weeks. The elements not only have prevented competition, they even have kept the schoolboy athletes from practicing out-of-doors. It has been almost a week since the Wildcat diamondeers have sunk their cleats into the dirt on the athletic field, although the pitchers and catchers have been working out in the high school gym for about a half hour after school each day. The Monongahelans would like to have tangled with the Hounds today, for Coach Rab Currie has a strong team that looms as one of the pre-season favorites for the league diadem. It is built around six regulars, including the hard hitting Charley Hardoby, Eddie Staycer, Allan Crosby, Eddie Hughes and Lea.

In meeting the Cougars tomorrow, weather permitting, the Cats also will be going up against strong competition. The charges of Coach George Chacko have taken part in two exhibition games, and have shown considerable promised Cet the Scrap! TOR VICTORY I to PORK ON SliMT OOFi NOT vVvr. Proper Soil Preparation for Victory Garden By DEAN HALLIDAY Released by Central Press Association Jk ruu "ajWV l.Oil V' --v turned it does not adequately bury weeds or other refuse. The soil should be turned up to a depth of at least 6 or 8 inches. The greatest mistake new gardeners usually make when turning up soil is in taking too large a "bite" with fork or spade.

This naturally makes the work unnecessarily heavy and tiring. Start first with 3 to 4-inch slices, Ir. turning over a forkful of soil, break it up thoroughly as illustrated. Turning and breaking up the soil correctly helps to kill most of the weeds. It also loosens and aerates the soil and gives it a greater moisture holding capacity.

Deep turning of the soil also helps to bring the plant food up from the lower levels, thus making it more available for the roota of the Vitcory vegetables. 9 IT IS VITAL this year that a Victoiy vegetable garden be a success. The right start is of utmost importance and this means proper preparation of the soil before the seeds are planted. The better the condition of the soil before the seeds are sown, the better the results will be at harvest time. Se'eds grow more readily in a fine, well-prepared soil than in a coarse or lumpy one.

If the Victory garden area is large enough it should be plowed and harrowed but if the area is small It can be spaded by hand. As illustrated in the accompanying Garden-Graph a digging fork Is excellent for this purpose. Sink the tines of the fork straight down into the soil. When the fork is thrust into the ground at aa angle the proper depth Is not achieved, and when the soil Is.
